Very good rating, 85–89 range
I find a lot of Japanese whiskey to be a bit too malty or a bit too sweet. This still had a sharp taste, and definitely a sweetness, but enjoyable.

This single malt whisky, aged for 10 years in sherry casks, offers a rich and complex profile that is both inviting and sophisticated. The influence of the sherry cask maturation is evident, imparting deep, fruity notes and a robust sweetness that will appeal to both novice and seasoned whisky drinkers alike.
